We kind of split it but when doing a grocery delivery subscription like hellofresh for a few weeks, I cook most of it because I find following the baby step instructions less tedious

Usually whoever isn’t busy with the kids at the time.

She’s not a morning person, so I cook breakfast and do all the baking.

She used to be a professional chef, so she cooks dinner most nights.

The kids each have one or two dishes they can prepare for lunch to feed each other.

The cats are useless layabouts and don’t even bring us hunting trophies anymore.

I do the cooking because I enjoy it and am halfway decent at it, he does all the dishes. It’s a fair trade for both of us, since he hates cooking and I’m not a fan of doing dishes.

My wife on weekdays, me on weekends/holidays/any days I don’t work.

Most of the time my gf does the cooking. I’m the primary breadwinner, plus she loves to cook. I do too, but she does more. I do other stuff around the house - clean up after the cats, clean floors, take out garbage - but cooking is her deal.

Usually my mother but I like to volunteer as to learn and expan my skills

It is just my wife and I. We will alternate the cooking, every other day. Who ever doesn’t cook, does the clean up.

Whoever is hungry

I do the cooking. It’s not like my wife is incapable, she’s just the breadwinner and it’s more fair for me to do most of the house stuff.

I do it at least 6 days of the week, I have a very intense problem-solving job and cooking something following a recipe helps me relax and blank my mind a bit.

Mostly I do the cooking because I love it, I am very fast doing it, I am very good at it and I like us to have healthy food in the house. He does some specific dishes that I don’t feel like doing. I made the rule of whoever does the cooking, also cleans up. It is strange at first glance, but I clean while I cook, so I don’t have to clean a bunch of stuff at the end. And he is a messy cook. So I don’t get in the kitchen while he cooks, otherwise I would get mad with the lack of efficiency.

And he loves my food much more than I do. It is a pleasure to see him enjoy what I cook.

I cook about 1/3 of the time my wife about a 1/3 of the time and both of us together about 1/3 of the time. We are both very good cooks but have different strengths.

I’m better when I plan ahead equilibrium brines, sousvide, smoking, Indian currie etc. She can look at what’s in the fridge and whip up something good at short notice.

Together is usually each of us working on a different dish or me doing Mise en place for her.

I cook, I don’t mind it. Wife doesn’t like to. She does other things I prefer not to. A balance if you will.
